A 74-year-old woman, Grace Okafor, on Tuesday, brought a live fowl to present to Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo at his second-term inauguration ceremony.
Okafor said the gesture was in appreciation of a N100,000 cash gift she had earlier received from Soludo.
The ceremony held at the Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka, the capital of Anambra State, attracted dignitaries and residents from across the state on Tuesday, March 17, 2026.
The septuagenarian, who arrived at the venue in a wheelchair, danced toward the podium while holding the fowl in a bucket, drawing cheers from the crowd.

Okafor, a native of Abatete in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State, said she received the N100,000 support from the governor during an event in Eziowelle community, which she invested in poultry farming.
She said: “I came to witness the swearing-in of Governor Soludo because he gave me N100,000 during an event in my community in Eziowelle.
“I invested the money in poultry, and this fowl is part of the proceeds. I am here to show my appreciation to him.”
